Why It Is So Important to Truly Enjoy Every Moment

At Alusi, we believe in celebrating each passing moment. It may sound cliché, but what is a lifetime other than a series of individual moments? We spend so much time waiting for the “big” things to happen that we forget to appreciate all the small but amazing things happening around us.

This is why we have chosen to work with the medium of wax and wick for our meaningful Alusi sculptures. How better to slow down and live in the moment than to experience the dance of a melting candle? After all, we don’t burn a candle because we like a puddle of wax. We burn candles to experience the moment, to reflect on the passing of time and the nuance of the flame.

Being in the moment is to be released from the burden of worrying about the future and overanalysing the past. Through appreciating the subtleties of each moment, you can achieve awareness and truly be in the present.

Coming out of your head and into the world will allow you to experience all that you have been closed off to. There are a million little moments happening around you at all times. What are you missing out on that will never be repeated again? Unique moments are what each life is made up of. In fact, moments are all we have. They are irreversible and deserve to be appreciated as individual special occasions.

Everything is made more beautiful by appreciating that we only have this time to experience it. Open yourself to the moment to see everything more clearly.

Have intention in each moment and you will end up living a wonderfully meaningful life.
